SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 9, 2026, Commerce published its affirmative final determination in the investigation of sales at less than fair
value (LTFV) of float glass products from China in accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). (1)

On March 26, 2026, pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final affirmative determination
that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason
of dumped imports of float glass products from China. (2) On March 31, 2026, the ITC published its final determination in the
Federal Register
. (3)

Scope of the Order

The products covered by this order are float glass products from China. For a complete description of the scope of the order, see the appendix to this notice.

AD Order

Based on the above-referenced affirmative final determination by the ITC, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of
the Act, Commerce is issuing this AD order. Because the ITC determined that an industry in the United States is materially
injured by reason of imports of float glass products from China, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from China, entered
or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.

Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise on all relevant entries of float glass products
from China. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of float glass products from China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after July 15, 2025, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination, (4) but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the
ITC's final injury determination, as further described below.

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits

In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation and
continue the suspension of liquidation, as applicable, on all relevant entries of float glass products from China, effective
on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the
Federal Register
.

Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated
in the tables below, adjusted by the relevant subsidy offsets. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the
Federal Register
of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally
deposit estimated customs duties on subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the tables below. The
rate for the China-wide entity applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate.

Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins

Provisional Measures

Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not
remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise request that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months. At the request of exporters
that account for a significant proportion of float glass products from China, Commerce extended the four-month period to six
months. (6)

In the underlying investigation, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination on July 15, 2025. The six-month period beginning on the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination ended on January 10, 2026. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and its practice, Commerce instructed CBP
to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of
float glass products from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 11, 2026, the first
day provisional measures were no longer in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's
final injury determination in the
Federal Register
. (7) Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination
in the
Federal Register
. (8)

Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service Lists

On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the Final Rule in the
Federal Register
. (9) On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published the Procedural Guidance in the
Federal Register
. (10) The Final Rule and Procedural Guidance provide that Commerce will maintain an annual inquiry service list for each order or suspended investigation, and any interested
party submitting a scope ruling application or request for circumvention inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or
request on the persons on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as well as any companion order covering the same
merchandise from the same country of origin.

In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in the
Federal Register
after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce's online e-filing and document
management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at https://access.trade.gov, within five business days of publication of the notice of the order. Each annual inquiry service list will be saved in ACCESS,
under each case number, and under a specific segment type called “AISL—Annual Inquiry Service List.” (11)

Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance
to the annual inquiry service list segment for the order in ACCESS within 30 days after the date of publication of the order.
For ease of administration, Commerce requests that law firms with more than one attorney representing interested parties in
an order designate a lead attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service list. Commerce will finalize the annual inquiry
service list within five business days thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance, (12) the new annual inquiry service list will be in place until the following year, when the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month of the order is published.

Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time as needed based on interested parties' amendments to their
entries of appearance to remove or otherwise modify their list of members and representatives, or to update contact information.
Any changes or announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the ACCESS website at https://access.trade.gov.

Special Instructions for the Petitioner and Foreign Governments

In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, “after an initial request and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and foreign
governments will automatically be placed on the annual inquiry service list in the years that follow.” (13) Accordingly, as stated above, the petitioner and foreign governments should submit their initial entries of appearance after
publication of this notice in order to appear in the first annual inquiry service lists for this order. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.225(n)(3), the petitioner and foreign governments will not need to resubmit their entries of appearance each year to continue
to be included on the annual inquiry service list. However, the petitioner and foreign governments are responsible for making
amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the
procedures described above.

Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

Appendix

Scope of the Order

The scope of this order covers float glass products, which are articles of soda-lime-silica glass that are manufactured by
floating a continuous strip of molten glass over a smooth bath of tin (or another liquid metal with a density greater than
molten glass), cooling the glass in an annealing lehr, and cutting it to appropriate dimensions. For purposes of the order,
float glass products have an actual thickness of at least 2.0 mm (0.0787 inches) and an actual surface area of at least 0.37
square meters (4.0 square feet).

The country of origin of each float glass product is determined by the location where the soda-lime-silica glass is first
manufactured by floating a continuous strip of molten glass over a smooth bath of tin and cooling the glass in an annealing
lehr, regardless of the location of any downstream finishing or fabrication operations.

Prior to being subjected to further treatment, finishing, or fabrication, float glass products meet the requirements of Type
I under ASTM-C1036 of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

Float glass products may be clear, stained, tinted, or coated with one or more materials. Examples of coated float glass products
include Low-E architectural glass (i.e., glass with a low emissivity coating to limit the penetration of radiant heat energy) and frameless mirrors (i.e., flat glass with a silver, aluminum, or other reflective layer) such as mirror stock sheet.

Float glass products may be annealed, chemically strengthened, heat strengthened, or tempered to achieve a desired surface
compression, pursuant to ASTM-C1048, ASTM-C1422/C1422M, or other similar specifications.

Float glass products include tub and shower enclosures (i.e., doors and panels) made of tempered glass, which may be sold with attached or unattached hardware. In such cases, the scope
covers only the tempered glass, to the exclusion of any non-glass hardware.

The only float glass product assemblies included within the scope are: (1) articles consisting of two of more sheets of float
glass that are bonded together using a polymer interlayer (i.e., laminated glass); (2) insulating glass units (IGUs), which consist of two or more sheets of float glass separated by a spacer
material and hermetically sealed together at the edge in order to create a thermal barrier using air or one or more gases
but excluding any non-float glass components (other than the spacer and insulating materials) that may be mounted within the
space between sheets of float glass (e.g., blinds, wrought iron cores, and camed patterned glass), as such non-float glass components are deemed outside the scope and
not subject to duties; and (3) LED mirrors (i.e., float glass mirrors with one or more light-emitting diodes attached to or integrated with the mirror, as well as framed float
glass mirrors with one or more light-emitting diodes attached to or integrated with the mirror or the mirror frame, but without
other electronic functionality such as digital or video displays or audio circuitry).

Float glass products covered by the scope may meet one or more of the ASTM-C162, ASTM-C1036, ASTM-C1048, ASTM-C1172, ASTM-C1349,
ASTM-C1376, ASTM-C1422/C1422M, ASTM-C1464, ASTM-C1503, ASTM-C1651, ASTM-E1300, and ASTM-E2190 specifications, definitions,
and/or standards.

Float glass products may be further worked, including, but not limited to, operations such as: cutting; beveling; edging;
notching; drilling; etching; bending; curving; chipping; embossing; engraving; surface grinding; or polishing; and sandblasting
(i.e., using high velocity air to stream abrasive particles and thereby impart a frosted aesthetic to the glass surface). A float
glass product which undergoes further work remains within the scope so long as the soda-lime-silica glass originally satisfied
the requirements of ASTM-C1036 Type I and was first manufactured in a subject country, regardless of where it is further worked.

Excluded from the scope are: (1) wired glass (i.e., glass with a layer of wire mesh embedded within); (2) patterned flat glass (i.e., rolled glass with a pattern impressed on one or both sides) meeting the requirements of Type II under ASTM-C1036, including
greenhouse glass and patterned solar glass (i.e., photovoltaic glass with a textured surface); (3) safety glazing materials for vehicles certified to American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) Standard Z26.1; (4) vacuum insulating glass (VIG) units, which consist of two or more sheets of float glass
separated by a spacer material, with at least one hermetically sealed compartment that uses a gas-free vacuum as a thermal
barrier; (5) framed mirrors without any LEDs integrated with the mirror or the mirror frame; (6) unframed “over-the-door”
mirrors that are ready for use as imported without undergoing after importation any processing, finishing, or fabrication;
and (7) heat-strengthened washing machine lid glass with an actual surface area less than 6.0 square feet (0.56 square meters).

Also excluded from the scope of the order are: (1) soda-lime-silica glass containing less than 0.01 percent iron oxide by
weight, annealed with a surface compression less

  than 3,500 pounds per square inch (PSI), having a transparent conductive oxide base coating (*e.g.,* tin oxide), and with an actual thickness less than or equal to 4.0 mm (0.1575 inches) (*i.e.,* “coated solar glass”); and (2) heat treated soda-lime-silica glass with a surface compression between 3,500 and 10,000 PSI,
  containing two or more drilled holes, and having an actual thickness less than 2.5 mm (0.0984 inches) (*i.e.,* “clear back solar glass”). Solar glass products (also known as photovoltaic glass) are designed to facilitate the conversion
  of solar energy into electricity.

Also excluded are metal-camed glass products (i.e., panels of glass joined together with metal banding) where the constituent glass panels would otherwise be excluded by reason
of their size (e.g., an actual surface area less than 0.37 square meters, or 4.0 square feet) and/or by reason of consisting of patterned flat
glass (i.e., rolled glass with a pattern impressed on one or both sides) meeting the requirements of Type II under ASTM-C1036.

Also excluded from the scope of the order are any products already covered by the scope of any extant antidumping and/or countervailing
duty orders, including Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 30650 (May 26, 2011), and Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 76 FR 30653 (May 26, 2011).

The products subject to the order are currently classifiable under subheadings 7005.10.8000, 7005.21.1010, 7005.21.1030, 7005.21.2000,
7005.29.1810, 7005.29.1850, 7005.29.2500, 7007.29.0000, 7008.00.0000, 7009.91.5010, 7009.91.5095, and 7009.92.5010 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Products subject to the order may also enter under HTSUS subheadings
7006.00.4010, 7006.00.4050, 7007.19.0000, 7013.99.2000, 7013.99.9090, 7610.10.0030, and 7610.90.0080. Although the HTSUS subheadings
are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the order is dispositive.
